Thread: the end of one bad year for me 2011

Tweet

Well, the old saying "If it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger" applies here. I'm also a firm believer in the "what comes around, goes around" philosophy. Years ago I was all wrapped up in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Health issues, family issues, and personal experiences forced me to reassess my priorities....and I've been a much more content person since. These days I've got enough coin to keep the lights on and buy a few parts, and I've been around long enough to see a lot of the Almighty Dollar Worshipping crowd continue to live their greedy selfish lives and become very miserable people... I had a number of people cheat me out of big $$$$$, and I've watched those same people become victims of someone who plays the same game only is much better at it take them to the cleaners. Granted it didn't put any money back in my pocket, but I'm still happily building Hot Rods and hangin' out with my Grandkids while they're out looking for someone else to cheat, and paranoid as heck that someone is going to cheat them......I think I won!!!! I do offer you my condolences for losing your best friend and your dog, that's tough. Here's hoping 2012 is nothing but good for you Slepp!!!
